Cute Programmer (Season 1)

Cute Programmer (程序员那么可爱, 2021) is a Chinese romantic comedy series you can watch online on iFILM. Lu Li has spent years following the career of software prodigy Jiang Yicheng — and now she wants to work at his company, which has a firm policy of not hiring women.

Her solution: cut her hair, take a different name, and bluff her way past HR. It holds until Jiang Yicheng sees through it, and rather than fire her, he proposes a deal — stay and play his girlfriend for the next twelve months. Xin Zhao Lin and Zhu Xu Dan play the reluctant pair with a light touch, and the show is sharp enough about tech-company dynamics to make the romance feel earned rather than inevitable.
